Not until HTML5 becomes the norm. HTML5 supports the <video> tag, not quite as you have described, but it is there.

okay thank you, i search it, is it like just embing it?

I think you miss understood me, there are only two browsers to currently support the video tag, so it is not worth using(and the only format consistent between the two is ogg).

Expect that at some point the link will stop working, as the works shift from current plans to working standards, then finaly get archived, but for now that link will explain the tag as much as you need.

If you want to embed a video for now you are forced to hope that the users have one or more of a set of plugins installed. Flash is a common choice.

I saw in your tag you are trying to embed .mov to your webpage, this would slow down the loading speed of your entire website and actually block visitors from entering your site. It would be much better to covert your .mov file into flash movie (.flv) as flash movie supports streaming. You can use this flash video software (http://video.a4desk.com) or a converter to convert your mov files into .flv, then play it on your website --- flash is now supported by 90%+ of the browser, so it would be more common than the vid tag.
